All-Plant-Based Artificial Lighting Solution for Greenhouses

Artificial lighting is essential for greenhouse cultivation, especially in regions with long, dark winters such as Sweden. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have significantly improved energy efficiency and enable spectral control via colour conversion layers (CCLs), which transform UV or blue light into wavelengths (400–700 nm) suitable for plant growth. However, current CCL materials, mainly inorganic phosphors […]

Doped biochar materials for biobased batteries – in-situ characterisation and understanding of structural versus electrochemical properties (BioBat)

The overall aim of the project is to investigate doped biobased material for carbon electrode material and gain detailed knowledge about prerequisite for a good electrochemical process by in-situ characterisation of bio-based batteries during charge and discharge. This project aims to addressthese objectives by focusing on two different types of feedstocks, namely spent mushroom substrate

Design of biochar from residual streams – influence of fuel and process parameters on biochar properties for water and soil applications

Biochar can be used in many applications, including water treatment and soil improvement. The properties of biochar are affected by the conditions during production. In this project, the influence on the properties of the biochar at different process conditions is investigated through the gasification of residual streams from both the forestry and agricultural sectors. The
